Bortezomib, Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Stomach Cancer

October 11, 2010 updated by: California Cancer Consortium

A Phase II Combination Trial of PS-341 and 5-FU/LV in Gastric and/or GE Junction Adenocarcinoma

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with fluorouracil and leucovorin may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bortezomib together with fluorouracil and leucovorin works in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable stomach cancer.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine response in patients with previously treated metastatic or unresectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma treated with bortezomib, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium.

Secondary

  • Determine time to progression and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, multicenter study.

Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 8, and 15. One hour after completion of bortezomib, patients receive leucovorin calcium IV and fluorouracil IV followed by fluorouracil IV continuously over 46 hours on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-37 patients will be accrued for this study.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Response rate as measured by RECIST every 8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Overall survival
Time to progression every 8 weeks
Toxicity every 4 weeks
Molecular correlates on and off study treatment
